Today we talk to Dr. Paul Connett of the Fluoride Action Network (fluoridealert.org) about Food & Water Watch Inc., et al. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, a lawsuit that could bring an end to the practice of water fluoridation in the United States. We discuss the Toxic Substances Control Act under which the suit is being filed, how recent court rulings have allowed the case to proceed, and the incredible significance of the chance to depose the EPA's "experts" under oath. Please help spread the word about this exciting development.

no, Brita type filters don't remove any fluoride, fluoride and other pharmaceuticals are too small. there are pitcher type filters like AquaGear that do ($70, I have one and love it).

yes, if it is a reverse osmosis system. more effective than 1, wastes water though.

I don't have a problem with toothpaste. it's topical medicine for topical concerns. however, too much fluoride has become a bigger issue than not enough. especially for kids. check out "dental fluorosis"

homemade toothpaste recipies exist. it's baking soda and a few other things .

you will absorb a significant amount of water and any toxins it has when you shower/bath.

Fluoride is bad because it is unnecessary. Sodium fluoride has long been thrown out and is no longer used in water fluoridation treatments. The new thing is now fluorosilicates like hexafluorosilicic acid, which have no studies regarding efficacy or health effects, unlike sodium fluoride - despite that research being highly suspect.

The truth is hexafluorosilicic acid and other fluorosilicates are waste products and are added to water supplies in order to dampen the costs of properly disposing of them.
